V. I. Lenin

The sage Rabochaya Gazeta has assured its readers that Plekhanov and Lenin are allies because both oppose the Stockholm
conference of the social-chauvinists. Rabochaya Gazeta confines
itself to issuing a few shouts, saying not a word about our arguments in
substance, and keeping silent about the fact that this conference is a screen for
capitalist diplomats!

This is a cheap trick!

Marxists must tell the people the truth and expose the tricks of the
diplomats operating through the social-chauvinists.

No Marxist will allow himself, as Rabochaya Gazeta does, to
keep silent about the fact that the refusal of the French
social-chauvinists means a desire on the part of the Anglo-French
and Russian bourgeoisie to drag out the war until Germany’s total defeat.
